Well...Adriana vs Guerdy? Who would have thought?

 

I've already said that Adriana was a mover and shaker on this show because she was messy. And this past episode, she really was. In fact, she seem green at Guerdy and Julia bonding. Growing closer. But I couldn't help but wonder if it was because they were bonding or if it was because the attention was not on her. 

 

That said...that did not take away from the fact Guerdy was messy, too!!! She knew good and well what she was doing when she continued to needle Adriana about the feet rubbing. ESPECIALLY in Martina's presence. 

 

Both of them were high voltage and it was great to watch. Mmmmmm I could understand Guerdy to be honest. My past is not a good one and I have had my dark days. So to be able to survive that with a positive outlook is something to inspire to. And yeah...it makes you a little bit...extra. Seize the day indeed. And why back down from anyone? Especially someone as extra and messy as yourself...which Adriana was being. Can't two women bond over losing children? Guess not. 

 

And then...Martina...GUUUUURRRRRL!!!! Can she get a mojito? lol. She was going toe to toe with Adriana, too, and I loved it. If she did not know about Julia and Adriana...SHE DOES NOW!!! And she was gathering. LOVE.

 

Meanwhile...Alexia's drama with the ex-husband's gay lover ends. NOT her drama, mind you. See...promo for next week with Peter vs Todd. But...it's safe that we didn't get to see the ex-lover. But...given what he does for a living (thank you Twitter for the tea.

 )...yeah, I can understand why. I did love that there was at least some resolution by Alexia, Marysol, and her gay friend even if it was like an episode of JG's Y&R

 

Another good episode.

Well...and I love the title of the first episode...first impressions...

 

 

ANDREA. Not annoying...yet...but so very self-absorbed so far. Attempting to be witty, but feels like for show.

 

LYDIA. I admit that I was expecting Lydiot.

Right now she seems so ordinary. But yes...as mentioned, you could already see that she's very 'hide the hand and act innocent.' How...Kyle of her. lol. It was who got the ball rolling with Jackie vs Gina. And I believe that will be what turns into everyone against Gina. We'll see. I'm on Episode 3.

 

JACKIE. Ooooo...I always knew she was quirky. After all, shine, shine, shine. hehe. But I didn't realize who her husband was. Ha! I'm back in high school again! I liked her so far though, but it is funny that at some point it feels like she will be accepted when so far the show started as the rich versus the underdog rich. Liked everyone's reaction to her.

 

JANET. Thank @Cat for letting me know she will find someone. I am liking her as a divorced woman so far trying to get back on the horse. So relatable. And her humor at herself has been cute to watch. 

 

CHYKA. OMG!!!! #GOALS. Business. Foine chef husband. Wealth. I love everything about her so far. 

 

GINA. Yeah, she had spark from GO!!! And I love it. Even if I feel she is going to hard on Jackie. But she has a refreshing self-awareness that I already like. I can't wait to see what she does next.

 

And do I have to even mention...the wealth.

 

Congrats for sure. I had no idea.

 

That does make me wonder though if that is why he has been on edge.

This was the episode where I sat up and thought, OK, Miami isn't playing. We are going to have some serious interpersonal drama here. And Martina putting Adriana in her place was just that moment. Suddenly we have a triangle. Suddenly everyone is aware that there is a flirtation between Julia and Adriana. And Guerdy brought it up as payback for the way Adriana treated her when she and Julia had an unexpected bonding moment. When I knew Guerdy AND Martina Freaking Navratilova were both prepared to get messy, that's when I started to pay attention!

And I got nothing but nice to say about Baby Lucy Cohen. If she's anywhere near as cute as Ben, she is going to be adorable.

Aww that first episode was so good! Wait til you see more of Andrea, though. The phrase 'Give them enough rope with which to hang themselves' comes to mind! I couldn't believe some of the stuff coming out of her mouth.

And yes Chyka's Bruce is foine as [!@#$%^&*]. I love how enthusiastic and positive she is-- they both seem to love what they do.

I am watching Season 5 right now and the stunning locations and cinematography are still top-tier. Like seriously, Melbourne is a step above the average RH show. Not that I mind not seeing that on other shows. Potomac, for example, keeps it real and adresses financial precariousness, it doesn't pretend to be anything it's not. It doesn't have to TRY to be entertaining, either. And I appreciate it all the more because of that -- it is one of, if not my favorite, franchise for a reason.

Nevertheless, watching some glamorous international locales always adds an element of excitement. And that reminds me.... Dubai will be coming soon. I think the wealth on that show is going to blow most of the other franchises out of the water. Oil/property development wealth is another level.

That was a fun premiere. Drew didn’t even bother me that much, even though I’m still puzzled how she got a second season after watching her absolutely bomb her first season (with that Prophet Lott nothingburger—the S13 reruns leading up to the premiere did her no favors).

Looks like we’re getting another season of her hot but clearly duplicitous husband making her look crazy on national television.

Sanya seems fresh and fun.

That's VERY interesting. 

 

I am catching up and I am sure that will color things a little, but best to know now.

 

Sounds like Production is covering because other than the wealth Heather brings...what else would the season bring other than a Shannon takedown season...what else would the season?

 

That show needs a live wire. And Tamra is gone. So is Kelly. So is Braunwyn. And while she is no Kenya, Noella is being that live wire.

 

It will be interesting to see how next season go? Will Production keep covering or are they setting up Noella for a fall?

FINALLY!!!

 

I felt like they took too long to get back to us. A telling sign of that...I had forgotten that Kenya was on DANCING WITH THE STARS. That could have taken up some episodes. I loved it was at least referenced. There's nothing like things going on in people's lives, but we the audience heard nothing about it. 

 

It was a good premiere. And this cast definitely POPS in my opinion. From Marlo getting her peach to ShebySheree's return to Sanya being introduced and already mixing it up, it was like a nice start to a new era. So much so Production gave shoutouts to Porsha (Not Ashy), Cynthia, and Nene...letting the audience know they are important to the legacy of this show...but we are turning a corner. And I'm here to see it. 

 

Which brings us to the two things. Marlo's event. And the drama already starting with Ralph. I loved Marlo's event. So much fashion. Some celebrity. And at least Production trying to give a somewhat logical reason to what Marlo's money. Of course we know better.

 But this idea is sound. Who knows how Marlo clothes people in the industry and I really had to think about that. But that could be my years watching THE CITY showing. And as for Ralph...I had heard the rumors for whether that would be a storyline. And...? I said at the end of last season that they were going to drag Drew for how she sidekicked for Porsha last season. So...not surprised. 

 

That said...it was a great start to the season. And Kenya, Marlo, Kandi, and ShebySheree kiki-ing at the start was awesome. And I want more of that. It just felt so much lighter, breezy, fun. 

 

KENYA. I said on my page and I'll say it now. Of course, Drew would go ahead and apologize. She spent all of last season coming for her. But with no backup from vets this season, she had to go and kiss that ring. Love how unbothered Kenya was by it. But Kenya was fun and living life. And I now have her crush on her dancing partner. hehe. And it was nice to see Brooklyn without her face being block out. And I love her light shade. But it's sad that the feud with Marlo appears to be starting already due to Sanya and Sheree's pot stirring. And I was soo in awe of the white dress she wore to Marlo's event. 

 

SHEBYSHEREE. Don't call it a comeback...call it a TAKEOVER.    I'll say this much. One thing that Sheree is good at...is poking fun at herself. Heck, she poked fun at the fact that she's broke tonight. So it was nice to see her continue to do the same. But I'm glad she's back in all her delusional glory. And I'm looking forward to seeing how things with Tyrone goes since originally he refused to film. But he DOES come around. And look at her pot stirring between Marlo and Kenya. She fit in soooo well and flawless. And I can already tell she's not here for Drew. Looking forward to the start of their feud.

 

KANDI. Let me get it out of the way right now...I LOVE she was serving 80s realness in her new Confessional with the leather top and total curly 80s hair. More please.  And I love she was being messy this episode...I know KANDI? Really? That she picked up on the inconsistencies in Ralph's story. That SHE went and found the assistant online. And then pot stirred with Drew. 

 

SANYA. I like her. Though during her intro scenes with Drew, it clicked who she was. I know. I didn't know it was THAT Sanya. Oooooooo....intrigued by her. Now sure how I feel about ShebySheree taking her under her wing and already have her stirring the pot to get Marlo vs Kenya starting. But so far, I like her presence, her vibe, and intriguing family life. And like most newbies, she did not come across as awkward in the group scenes at all. You woud think she had always been there if you didn't know better.

 

DREW. Le sigh. I think we all know that Latoya was my favorite last season over Drew. So outside of foine husband, she was just doing too much. Heck, she's still doing too much. I loved Kandi and Sanya already shading her. No matter how she acts she will NEVER be a Kenya Jr. At least she was smart enough to kiss the ring at Marlo's event and apologize from go to Kenya. But she clearly ain't too smart if she thinks that is going to save her from her well deserving dragging for backing Porsha last season. So I fully expect her to take her licks. That said...this Ralph storyline...might save her. We'll see.

 

MARLO. SHE GOT HER PEACH, YOU'ALL!!! HAHAHA!!! I admit...I like seeing the family side to her. While she still puts on airs...I still felt those scenes were MOSTLY real. And she is out living life. But...she should have been wise to what Sanya and Sheree was doing. But perhaps it was the point of wanting her night to be prefect and also the memories of 'KENYA MOOR HAIR-CARE!!!!' but she overreacted. I like that Kenya did not take the bait...YET...cuz the season just started and we don't need that feud yet. However, I don't know if I would say Marlo can't read. SEASON 4 MARLO COULD AND DID READ...PEOPLE...DOWN. And I giggled at her (and ShebySheree's) montage in the episode. She's come a loooooooong way since Africa. 

 

And next week...the Ralph drama begins and we might get a new group of Househusbands, too...I'm down.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

      Please register in order to view this content

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
